Wired 10 Gigabit link for gaming and office gear

This Cat6a patch cable delivers a 10 Gbps wired connection to a PS5, Xbox, gaming PC, router, switch, NAS or smart TV. The 5 ft length keeps a desk or console area tidy while avoiding the lag, jitter and packet loss common on Wi-Fi. It drops straight into existing Cat6 or Cat5e runs with no equipment changes. 24 AWG stranded bare copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated contacts maintain reliable signal integrity.

500 MHz bandwidth limit

The Cat6a standard caps performance at 500 MHz and guarantees 10GBASE-T only up to 100 metres of total channel length. Beyond that distance the 10 Gbps rate is not assured, so longer runs must step down to 1 Gbps or use fibre. The unshielded UTP construction also means the cable is more susceptible to external electromagnetic interference than shielded alternatives in electrically noisy environments.

Replaces Cat5e and Cat6 patch cords when 10 Gbps

Swapping an older Cat5e or Cat6 patch lead for this Cat6a cable unlocks 10 Gbps on hardware that already supports it, provided the rest of the link meets the same standard. The upgrade is worthwhile only when both ends negotiate 10GBASE-T and the total path stays within the 100 metre limit; otherwise the extra headroom goes unused.

Questions about this item

Is the 5 ft length the right choice for a desk setup or should I pick a longer version?

The 5 ft length keeps a desk or console area tidy while reaching a nearby router or switch; choose a longer version only if the run exceeds that distance.

What does the 10 Gbps rating actually deliver when the cable is plugged into a gaming PC or console?

It supports 10GBASE-T up to 100 m at 500 MHz, so a 5 ft run will carry the full 10 Gbps link speed with low latency for gaming.

The cable uses RJ45 connectors — what standard does that interface cap at in practice?

The RJ45 connectors are built to the Cat6a standard, which caps at 10 Gbps over 100 m at 500 MHz and remains backward compatible with Cat6 and Cat5e.
